The East Haven Town beach will reopen this weekend with restrictions, including allowing only residents, Mayor Joseph Carfora announced Friday.

Beachgoers will have to show a valid photo ID with an East Haven address to beach monitors at the entrance to be admitted. These monitors will also help residents find a spot to sit and help maintain social distancing.

The town is following the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection guidelines of keeping blankets 15-feet apart to allow for safe social distancing and walkways.
